Haren Brogg and Odo are invisible. Can someone please help me fix this?

[Dzianger]

When I enter their homes I cannot see them. However, when I click alt in order to see object I can interact with their names pop up, but they npcs remain unseen. Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this would help, but it's worth a go? If you go into options for the names of objects and NPCs to appear all over the place. Although the character will be invisible, their name will be around there somewhere, and may be able to interact with them.

Sorry I can't offer a better solution. Good luck.

Of got the same issue, some hours of looking for a solution and here we are.
It was caused by the mod Rise of the White Wolf (maybe in conflict with another mod, dunno).

You have to go to The Witcher Enhanced Edition\Data\z_zrotww\Characters and delete (or move) the Haren folder.
For odo, it's a little more tricky, since the files are in the Kupcy folder. Just delete the three Odo files and it works.

Thanks for the post Aureas. This issue seems to affect a few people, and it's a shame with it happening so early in the game.

You're welcome.
Got the same issue with Munro Bruys, and once again it worked. Seems the Character files from the mod are very bugged.


[Edit] : got the issue another time, I will list every files which create bugs. If you ever get this bug on Haren and Odo, you'll get it later on other NPCs.
I'm currently at the begining of chapter 2, the list may increase later.
You must delete :

- Haren folder
- Munro folder
- Vaska folder
- Odo files in the Kupcy folder
- 19_cm_armo201.utc in the Kupcy folder
- leuvaarden_q1_1 in the Kupcy folder
- 19_cm_undr201.utc in the Grabarz folder (this one was tricky as hell since name with the NPC doesn't match (it's for the gravedigger in Vizima)).

Of course, you can just delete the entire Character folder if you find this bothersome.

Did you have to reinstall anything? I tried deleting the individual files and even the entire character folder but he's still invisible. Any ideas?

Late to the party, but if anyone else has this problem:

If you're using mods like Rise of The White Wolf, save, exit and then move the Override folder you created in Data (where the mods reside) to the desktop. This puts the game back to vanilla. Save points were not affected for me. Odo and the dwarf blacksmith at the Inn reappeared for me in the now unmodded version. I completed the needed interactions, saved, exited moved the Override folder back to re-enable the mods. Worked perfectly for me.

Just saying: simply renaming the folder to something different works too (like "Override" => "TMP_Override"). Works more efficiently :-)

Renaming the Override folder does not work. I tried several variations and the mods kept loading until the folder was removed from the game. My method is a blanket fix for temporary issues, rather than figuring out which of the files is the culprit. I have a SSD, so moving the file to the desktop is almost instantaneous. For those with HDDs this will obviously take longer- it's about 3.8GB with all the mods I used. But at least it WORKS if you're stuck and out of options.
